Soooo sorry I haven't updated this one in a while. The muse did not strike, and I couldn't type for a while. I hope you like it.
Shirochi: They better like it! You spent days trying to get my character right.
Bakura: She's got a point. And then you just couldn't type. And then you lost the manuscript. And then-
Okay, they get it! On with the story.
The small boy groaned and his eyelids fluttered. "Ah, Bakura, I think he's waking up!" A soft female voice called. The boy opened chocolate-brown eyes - and yelped.
The black-eyed white wolf jumped a little. "Well now, there's no need to do that, little one!" The she-wolf grumbled. "I'm Shirochi, and I think you damaged my eardrum." She brought a paw up and rubbed her ear with a frown.
"uh, I'm, uh, Ryou…" The wolf smiled brightly, a disturbing expression on a wolf. "Nice to meet you. You look absolutely delicious!" Ryou blanched and cringed away from her.
"Shirochi! Stop it." Another white wolf entered.. Ryou noticed he was a head taller than the female. "Aw, Ryou, you know I was just kidding! Well, mostly anyways…"
The male wolf growled. "Shirochi…" "Yes, Bakura? Did you need something?" Bakura glared at her, then paced to Ryou. "Feeling any better, little one?"
Ryou nodded hesitantly. "Um yeah…Thank you for saving me…" Shirochi tilted her head. "Oh, no, lamb, that was all Bakura. Don't let his big bad wolf act fool you, he's a sweetie in his heart."
Bakura huffed and looked away with embarrassment. "Yeah, yeah, don't harp on it, littermate." Ryou placed a hand on his shoulder as he was about to walk away, and he paused.
"Thank you." The boy said again. Shirochi chuckled at her brother's face. "I can already tell your stay here is going to be interesting."
Suddenly, Ryou shivered. "It's k-kinda c-cold…" He mumbled. Bakura smirked and turned to Shirochi. "I saved him, you can keep him warm at the least."
The she-wolf snorted and paced to the boy. Circling him once, she licked his head before plopping down and curling around him. (Does that rhyme, or is it just my imagination…?)
Shyly, Ryou snuggled close to the warm white fur of Shirochi's shoulder, using the wolf as a pillow. Bakura glanced at his sister, a gentle look on his face. "Go to sleep pup, littermate. I'm going to hunt."
Ryou looked at him. "Do you…hunt humans? In all the old stories, wolves would take down stragglers…" Shirochi rolled her eyes.
"We're werewolves, love, not just regular canines. Considering we are human half the time, it would be cannibalistic to eat humans. Besides, wolves are noble creatures and would never attack a human unprovoked unless they had rabies."
Bakura sighed. "You can let go of any pre-conceived notions of werewolves, too. We may not be humans, but we aren't murderers, beasts, or mindless."
Ryou looked at the wolves curiously. "You two are werewolves? You can turn into humans? Will you show me?" Shirochi chuckled and nuzzled his cheek. "In the morning, pup. You need rest right now."
Ryou nodded slowly, then murmured good night. Bakura watched the two for another moment, then took off into the moonlit woods outside.
Well, I know, not a lot went on, but this was just to explain some things and to show what werewolves are in this story. The next chapter will most likely have a large time skip between it and this one, but not more than a few years. Now make me happy and review, review, review!
By the way, I need suggestions on pairings for Ryou. However, Puppyshipping will not be broken up, and I 3 Tristan X Duke.
Next chapter we meet Malik and Joey!
